Super Bowl 58 is offering some truly bizarre prop bets. From predicting the outcome of a coin toss to estimating the duration of Reba McEntire's National Anthem performance, there are plenty of unconventional wagers to choose from. You can even place bets on whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will become engaged during the game or if aliens will make an appearance. These quirky betting options are all available for Super Bowl 2024.
If you are feeling the desire to gamble this year, you are not alone. Over 30 states have legalized gambling in some capacity, and the total amount of money being bet is increasing at a record pace.
Based on information from the American Gaming Association, there was a significant rise in the number of American adults placing bets on the Super Bowl in 2023. This resulted in an estimated $16 billion being wagered on the game, marking a 61 percent increase compared to previous years. It is anticipated that this figure will continue to rise in the current year.
One of the aspects that can be quite amusing to observe are prop bets. We have selected five particularly distinctive ones from Bovada Sportsbook.
Sportsbooks worldwide will be timing the length of the National Anthem from the moment Reba McEntire begins singing until she finishes the word "brave." During Super Bowl 47, Alicia Keys sang the Anthem in 2 minutes and 36 seconds, while Chris Stapleton took 2 minutes and 1 second last year.
The odds creators seem to believe that McEntire will have a smooth and effortless performance this year.
Which color will be used to pour on the victorious coach of Super Bowl 58? Purple is the favored color this year, with red being a close second. However, if you're looking for a risky bet, the option of no liquid being poured has odds of +2000.
Usher has invited Taylor Swift to perform "Shake it Off" with him during the halftime show, and it's causing quite a stir. Reports suggest that Taylor Swift has already stated she won't be performing with Usher, but some believe she may be saying that to surprise everyone. This bet has odds of +25000, which means if you bet $10, you could potentially win $2,500.
The Chiefs emerge as the victors, and surprisingly, Taylor Swift accompanies the team to the White House and publicly supports Biden. This proposition, although improbable (+5000 odds), appears to have a higher chance of occurring compared to her performing at halftime. This unlikely scenario is presented as the final option with the longest odds.
Aliens come to Las Vegas, causing chaos, and the game concludes with no clear winner. The most unexpected outcome occurs with a staggering odds of +100000.
